I just wish things would be enforced more strictly. If you look at the comments being punished, a lot of clearly political statements get ignored while others don't - even if they just correct wrong statements. It's the tiring and commonplace way of "ban everything, enforce selectively". Same with r/cpp r/programming unfortunately.

If you see a post that ought to have been moderated but hasn't been, the likeliest explanation is that we didn't see it. We don't come close to reading everything that gets posted to HN—there's far too much. You can help by flagging it or emailing us at hn@ycombinator.com. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

If you think that one side gets consistently moderated while the other side doesn't—on whatever divisive topic—then you might be falling prey to the notice/dislike bias: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que.... Because of that bias, all sides feel like the site, the community, and the moderators are lined up against them, and they make interchangeable statements about it (except for the bit about which sides are supposedly favored).
